ANTOINE FUQUA, SPIKE LEE MAKE A 'LIVING': Filmmakers team for new movie about a white girl and a black pimp.
(November 19, 2009)
*Antoine Fuqua and Spike Lee join forces for a big screen adaptation of the graphic novel "Miss: Better Living Through Crime," with Fuqua directing and Lee executive producing.
Newly-formed banner Vigilante Entertainment is developing the project, which revolves around Nola and Slim, two unlikely partners in crime in the early 1900s in New York, reports Variety.
Nola is a poor white girl who has learned to survive by hook or by crook since being expelled from an orphanage. Slim is a black pimp with an uncertain past, trying to keep one foot out of the grave. The two forge an unlikely partnership as killers for hire.
John Ridley, who penned George Lucas' upcoming World War II action film "Red Tails," is adapting the graphic novel, which was written by French scribes Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux.
